What are the reproductive properties of molds?
Molds reproduce through the production of spores. The environment in which a given mold may grow prolifically is very likely different from the environment necessary for spore production.10 Once the spores are formed they are released into the air to be carried elsewhere for germination and growth. Mold spores can survive for many years in dry or hot environments, requiring only moisture and available organic matter to allow them to germinate.
